The market closed higher Friday, but the shortened trading week was negative enough to see a market-wide pullback that barely kept stocks from forming even the slightest Santa Rally. The Rally is really a historic observation, where the S&P 500 tends to climb more than 1.3% in just seven sessions this year from the close of December 23rd until the trading close Friday, January 3rd. Though this happens more than 75% of years, it looks like 2025 is off to a slower start than most.
The S&P 500 closed down 0.48% for the week, and down 0.58% for the Santa Rally period. The $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ closed down 0.51% for the week, and the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ closed down 0.60%.
Anyway, let's dive into the buzzing stocks this week:
In stocks that were the most popular in the moomoo community this week, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ led the way, in the lead-up to and aftermath of its Thursday deliveries release. On Thursday, Tesla reported its vehicle production and delivery figures for the full year and fourth quarter of 2024. The data showed that in the fourth quarter, Tesla delivered 495,570 vehicles, setting a new quarterly record with a year-over-year growth of 2.3%. However, this figure fell below the consensus analyst forecasts - FactSet data had previously shown analysts predicting deliveries of 498,000 vehicles. The firm was in the news after an apparent purposeful detonation of a Cybertruck in front of a Las Vagas Trump building on New Year's Eve, according to AP News. The stock climbed heavily on Friday.
@Erwin_S: 400 400 400!
$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ climbed 3% Friday, after a light week. The stock held its ground as its fantastic year came to a close, finishing up 171% overall. Some believe the stock could go further, the firm's VP of robotics Deepu Talla told the Financial Times Monday that "the ChatGPT moment for physical AI and robotics is around the corner," adding that the market has reached a "tipping point."
Talla told the FT that the outburst of generative AI models and the ability to train robots using simulated environments drove the robotics market shift. For the stock, climbing higher yet again would be an impressive feat. After the firm jumped 239% in 2023, all else but another massive year would paint a picture thatthe firm's stock price was finally leveling out.
@WhatIsThereInName: the problem with this stock is that it increase unnecessarily before any event and when event concludes it goes down even though the outcome from the event is good
$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ was the third most watched equity on moomoo this week, up about 2.9% so far after leveing out below $100k, reaching down to $91k at one point.
@Raptor boom: Today is BTC's 16th birthday
RGTI shares continued to climb this week, up some 445% over the past month amid marked strength in quantum computing-related stocks. The company's December release of its 84-qubit Ankaa-3 quantum computer captured attention, boasting features like "99.0% for iSWAP gates and 99.5% for fSim gates, coupled with reduced error rates." Rigettisays the system also delivers "fast gate speeds—72-nanosecond median times for iSWAP and 56 nanoseconds for fSim—ideal for complex data processing tasks like random circuit sampling." Apparently, those words mean something great for the firm.
The company says its machine is now accessible through Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services and will debut on platforms like Amazon Braket and Microsoft Azure in early 2025, according to Benzinga.
@J C investments : you guys notice no one wants to buy when stock gets way overpriced? today you can understand what OVERBOUGHT means . no buyers only sellers
SealsQ Corp is a startup "holding company" that owns subsidiaries that manufacture and sell semiconductors. in the past four weeks, the firm's stock has exploded in value, jumping 230% last week to $11/share. This week, the stock climbed but finally pulled back. Over the weekend, the firm said it was launching chips in 2025 built with "pos-quantum cryptography" in mind, seeming to claim they could face hacking from quantum computers and remain impervious to threats.
@Rocketier (MAXN) aren't they doing offering? Will we expect a price drop next week?
This week, the small autonomous driving startup Cyngn made headlines and captured the attention of our readers. On Tuesday, its shares surged approximately 28% after the company completed a registered direct offering of 15 million shares priced at $0.60 each, raising $9 million.
@browny_440 like look at its news over the past month military contracts NVIDIA deals and heaps more this one will be big
MSTR led the Nasdaq 100, climbing alongside its pride and joy, Bitcoin. The stock climbed 6% to Bitcoin's 0.63% climb. Monday, the stock fell 7% after showing it bought less Bitcoin compared with the week before. According to a securities filing, it bought $209 million worth of the digital token between Dec. 23 and Sunday for an average price of $97,837 per Bitcoin. It now holds 446,400 Bitcoins in total, worth about $41.4 billion based on Monday's price of $92,678 per coin, according to Barron's.
A MicroStrategy securities filing last week revealed the company purchased $561 million in Bitcoin, a decrease from $1.5 billion the previous week. On December 9, the company reported weekly purchases of $2.1 billion.

In recent quantum computing news, HOLO surged over 100% this week. The stock soared on Monday after the company announced an advanced technological solution for a "double quantum dot system."
@Bigjhill02: $MicroCloud Hologram (HOLO.US)$ lol gotta shake off the weak hands first and we out.
This year, Palantir has impressively exceeded Wall Street's high hopes by successfully selling its AI platform to both government and commercial customers. According to Barron's, Wedbush's Dan Ives has been a consistent supporter of the company, recently raising his target price to $75—though it’s below the current trading value, he remains hopeful about Palantir's AI success, drawing parallels to Oracle.
On the other hand, RBC's Rishi Jaluria has set a target price of $11, which reflects his cautious view based on a low enterprise value-to-revenue multiple. He shares concerns that the risk-reward for Palantir may not be favorable, pointing out that recent earnings strength has largely stemmed from government contracts, while growth in the commercial sector has started to slow down.
Following a brief hiatus from public attention, the electric vehicle company Faraday has reemerged on the market with a remarkable increase of over 80% this week. On Monday the company’s shares climbed after the announcement entrepreneur Luke Hans would be assuming the role of Developer Co-Creation Officer. Just the previous week, the firm said it had secured $30 million in cash financing. The company intends to introduce its first two FX prototypes imminently. Additionally, last month signified the initiation of an exciting development phase as their first FX prototypes were received at headquarters.
@james mills7 sunday we finally get to see the 2 new fx models!! I'm so pumped for the unveiling. hope everyone got there shares before the squeeze.

HuatLady : As I look ahead to 2025, I'm focused on key tech and AI leaders, such as $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ with its strong demand for GPUs which I believe will drive significant revenue growth. $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ remains a solid choice with its expanding e-commerce empire and cloud computing business poised for continued success. Despite potential economic challenges and uncertainty surrounding the new US President, I'm also maintaining positions in reliable companies like $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$, $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ and $Adobe (ADBE.US)$. These stocks align with my long-term financial goals and should provide resilience in a volatile market.![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")

HuatEver : If this year will be different than history. I will focus on staying flexible and sticking to the basics that have always worked for me![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
. While historical trends and patterns can provide valuable insights, every market has its own twists, influenced by unique events and changing dynamics. I’ll take the time to understand what’s really driving the shifts, dig into the data to validate or challenge my assumptions, and stay grounded in strong time-tested fundamentals. At the same time, I will be ready to pívot and adjust my strategy as needed without losing sight of my long-term goals. Ultimately, it’s this combination of adaptability, discipline and a clear vision for the future that gives me an edge when the unexpected happens. ![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")

102362254 : If this year breaks the usual trends, I’ll stay flexible and watch how emotions like fear and greed move the market. These emotional swings usually create gaps between market sentiment and actual value, which can lead to some of the best opportunities

Here is my input:
1) I predicted that the first half of year 2025 will continue to be bullish as the last quarter in 2024. This forecast is on the basis that there is no major disaster on the global scale.
2) For whatever reason if this year will be different and the stock market becomes bearish, I will count on my investment plan. I have more than 6 months of emergency funds to survive at a bear market. My fund investment - Moomoo Cash Plus funds will earn passive income to keep me afloat. I will continue to earn dividends on my stocks e.g. REIT like collecting rent on a property.
3) The purpose of the investment plan is to avoid panic selling (fear) if a crisis suddenly happens. If the fundamentals of the company have not changed, we should not be worried about price correction and pullback.
4) The last two years have taught me to be patient when investing for the long term. We should also have plans to stay invested in a bull or a bear market. You can read here about my investment plan for 2025:
Recap the most inspiring moment in my investment journey in 2024

Srav Reddy : Great post. Yeah Santa was conservative this year. But yeah that is enough for well prepared ones to book profits and buy the new opportunities. Instead of FF, I wish GRRR was in the list.
Dadacai : In an increasingly unpredictable world, it seems the only thing we can count on is volatility. I think we need to diversify and not put everything in one basket. There are opportunities in markets other than the US.
Aaron Invests (AI) : If this year is different from the previous years. Focus on improving our skills more than luck. Yes luck plays an important role in trading. However, by studying the patterns over and over again, I believe that Skills will surpass luck!
Luck of losing streak can be mitigated with risk management.
All the best in everyone's trading year 2025. The year of trading!
Phuong999 : So $MicroCloud Hologram (HOLO.US)$ is good for next week?
101816801 : Santa wanted to surprise us but was afraid to disappoint so he figured when he had bigger gifts we would be delighted as opposed to merely happy.
PAUL BIN ANTHONY : good luck
